Hello K2ers,
I have noticed a number of K2 image questions, which I at one time also had. With trial & error, I discussed that you can remove the K2 image processing functionality, leaving the image you upload intact. So you can retain the image quality/compression of each image you upload to K2.
Find & comment out the following code for the image size you use as your main item image (e.g. Large):
File:
administrator\components\com_k2\models\item.php
$handle->image_resize = true;
$handle->image_ratio_y = true;
$handle->image_convert = 'jpg';
$handle->jpeg_quality = $params->get('imagesQuality');
So that is looks like this (Large Image example):
//Large image
//$handle->image_resize = true;
//$handle->image_ratio_y = true;
//$handle->image_convert = 'jpg';
//$handle->jpeg_quality = $params->get('imagesQuality');
I hope you find this tip helpful.
Regards,
Joe Campbell
